MEMORANDUM

TO: Local Planning Agency

FROM: Bill Spikowski and Carol Cunningham

DATE: September 10, 1996

SUBJECT: Your September 17^th Meeting

For our meeting on September 17, we are forwarding the attached re-draft of the proposed work program. You reviewed a previous version on September 3 (it had been printed on blue paper). The most substantial changes from the previous version are:

• A revision to the overall schedule we had proposed, with a new goal of having a complete draft of a comprehensive plan by the end of the next fiscal year (September 30, 1997). Public hearings to consider revisions to the draft and to actually adopt the plan would begin some time in the fall of 1997 and would continue into early 1998.
• A prioritization within each element identifying the most important issues for your attention during the coming twelve months. These issues are listed as "special issues to be addressed through additional background work and analysis of policy implications." The lower-priority issues follow in a separate paragraph. (The lower-priority issues will still be addressed, but in a more cursory fashion directed at beginning to focus the Town's position and identifying what steps should be taken in the coming years to more fully develop an appropriate program.)

During this meeting we would like to get any feedback you may have on either of these changes, or on any other matter contained in the work program. For instance, have we misjudged certain issues in our preliminary effort to set priorities?

Also on September 17 we need to identify which regulatory issues you plan to take up on September 24, so that we can be properly prepared to assist you in identifying alternatives.
